Yan State, outside Ji City, by the bank of Yi River.
Yan Hong stood here. The late-autumn Yishui River was already emitting traces of coldness. The wind was whistling and the Yishui River was cold. Once a warrior left, he would never return. This part of history really couldn't be changed. Looking at this rolling river, he felt a sense of helplessness. With his tiny body, could he really defy the heavens and change his fate by resisting the trend of history? There was a big question mark in his heart. A few years later, there would be a farewell that would be recorded in history. The assassination of Jing Ke had been passed down through the ages and praised by tens of thousands of people. However, when he personally experienced it, he felt extremely bitter. His father, mother, and even his country would turn into dust after that assassination. Everything seemed to have been predestined and could not be changed. Was fate really predestined?
Gradually, the scenery in front of him became blurry. It was as if he was in a huge black hole. He wanted to escape, but he couldn't find the glimmer of hope. His consciousness began to blur, and it became difficult to breathe. Just as his life was about to disappear, seven bright lights suddenly rose from the depths of his soul. The entire dark space was gradually illuminated. The weak light was slowly increasing, and his cold body was slowly warming up. The moment he opened his eyes, Yan Hong saw a jade scroll. The feeling of soul connection was like a treasure that originally belonged to him, waiting for him to open it.
With a loud bang, Yan Hong broke away from the mysterious realm. His consciousness regained control of his body. Then, he felt a strong heat flow surging out of his Dantian, forcefully breaking through all the obstacles and heading straight for the inner energy flowing in the Mortal Gate, Conception Vessel and Governor Vessel to the Guyuan acupoint. The Jingming acupoint seemed to be weak and finally stopped, causing Yan Hong's strength to stop at the peak of the Houtian Realm. Yan Hong was overjoyed and woke up.
Beside him, an old man with white hair and beard smiled at him. Seeing that Yan Hong had woken up, he let go of the hand that was pressing on his shoulder. His hands were as clear as jade, and he looked like a young man with white hair. His breath was long, and his slender body was unpredictable. Yan Hong was shocked and knew that the old man must be a master of the world. He pinched the old man to the end.
"Thank you for your kindness, senior. Yan Hong will never forget it.”
"Little friend, you don't have to be like this. Today's encounter is also a lucky chance in your life. Now that I think about it, your strength has greatly improved.”
"Hong 'er, how do you feel? What realm are you at now?”Yan Dan was also a martial arts practitioner. Seeing this scene, he knew that his beloved son's strength had improved greatly. However, Yan Hong had just broken through, and his Qi was fluctuating. Yan Dan's eyesight could not see Yan Hong's realm.
"Young Master, what is the situation now?”Hong Yu's voice was very anxious, and her love was overflowing with words.
Yan Hong took a deep breath." Peak of Houtian Realm." Although his voice was filled with unconcealable joy.
Laughing, the old man stroked his beard and said happily," Little friend, you are indeed a genius. You have already reached the peak of the Postliminary Realm at the age of a horn.”
"I don't dare, I don't dare. What I did today was because I received senior's help when my life was at stake.”
"Anyone who learns martial arts will face the tribulation of the Inner Demon. Today, my young friend, you have a firm heart and unparalleled comprehension ability.”
"I haven't asked for Senior's name yet. Junior will remember it in my heart.”
"Little friend, you don't have to worry about it. Your dao and my dao of alliance are interlinked. It was fate that we met today.”
It was a way to maneuver. Everyone was stunned, and their hearts were in turmoil.
"May I ask if Senior is Guigu 'zi?”Before Yan Hong could ask anything, Yan Dan spoke first. He remembered that the giant had once said that Yan Hong would become the direct disciple of the School of Political Conspiracy. Every generation of the disciples of the Phantom Valley were all outstanding talents. Pang Juan was brave and powerful, Sun Bin was wise and invincible, Su Qin was the leader of the Six Nations, and Zhang Yi was the leader of the Nine States. All of them were outstanding talents of the time and would be remembered throughout the ages.
"That's right. This old man is the current Sect Master of the Phantom Valley Sect. Today, I'm here to help you become a disciple of my Heng Heng Sect. I wonder if you're willing?”
Without saying much, Yan Hong bowed his head and kowtowed three times and nine times respectfully. No one knew where the most mysterious sect of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy was located, and no one knew what they learned. They only knew that the first generation of Guigu 'zi and the founder of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy were both great sages in the world. Only the founder of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy knew about the truth of the truth of the Ghost Valley. However, there was no record in the ancient books of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy. They only told the later generations that they could only make friends with them. One must not be hostile. This ancient saying had been passed down to this day. Therefore, it was a great opportunity for Yan Hong to be able to enter Phantom Valley.
"Alright, from today onwards, the surname Ji, Yan, Zi Hong, will be the ninth generation direct disciple of my Ghost Valley.”After saying that, he took off his sword from his waist. The sword was four feet long and four fingers wide. It was simple and unadorned, and its qi was restrained. It was obvious that it was a treasured sword. Gently, Yan Hong pulled out his long sword. The blade was engraved with a small seal dragon spring. The moment the sword was completely pulled out, it actually let out a sword cry.
"Buzz!" It was crisp and long.
"A treasured sword has a spirit, and a spirit sword knows its master." Hong Yu, Yan Dan, and Big Hammer shouted in unison.
"Thank you, teacher, for bestowing your disciple with the divine sword..."
"Alright, I only hope that you won't disgrace the name of Long Quan.”
"Yes, I will remember."
"Alright, let's continue on our way. The new heir of the Mo family has succeeded to the throne. This old man is also invited. Let's go to the City of Traps together.”
"This junior is more than happy to ask for it. Senior, please.”Everyone answered in unison.
Time passed by quietly on the bank of the flowing Yi River. By the time everyone realized it, the sun had already set. The afterglow that fell on Yan Hong made him look even more elegant and carefree. It was as if an era that belonged to him was waiting for him to open.
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
A month later, outside the City of Traps, the giant, Teacher Xu. Master Ban came out to welcome him personally.
Guigu 'zi was still as graceful as ever.
Hong Yu was still as beautiful as ever.
Yan Hong was still calm and free, but the trace of nobility that came with his body was well hidden. If he wanted to survive in this chaotic world, he had to learn to change and hide. For an emperor, the most important thing in the heart of an emperor was to hide and balance. The current Yan Hong still had many things to learn.
"Brother has been in seclusion for 20 years, and today, you can come to the City of Traps in person. It's really an honor for my Mo family, haha.”The giant was very happy to see Guigu 'zi.
" Greetings, Commander-" Everyone in the Mo family greeted Yan Dan in unison. Only Nian Duan's eyes flashed with a trace of sorrow.
Yan Dan humbly returned the half-bow. He could only sigh in his heart at Nian Duan's gaze. Some things really couldn't be forced.
After entering the City of Traps and arriving at the central hall, the first person to lean against Yan Hong was Duanmu Rong, who had known each other for a long time. The two of them could be said to be childhood sweethearts.
"Rong 'er greets Sister Hongyu." Duanmu Rong's voice was sweet and pleasant to hear.
"Hello, Little Sister Rong 'er. The three of us have not seen each other for many years. Today, Big Sister will give you a beautiful gift.”
"Okay, thank you, Sister Hongyu. Brother Hong 'er, where's Rong' er's gift? The last time you left, you said you would give me a gift.”
"Sister Rong 'er, the gift is in my bag. Come to my room later and I'll give it to you."
The three of them gradually quieted down and turned their gazes to the hall. At this moment, there were already many people there.
Military strategist-Fan Zeng.
Legalism-Han Fei.
Farmer-Chen Qi.
Novelist-Bai Xiaosheng.
Famous Scholar-Gongsun Qian.
The Hundred Schools of Philosophers had their own representatives, and Xiao Yaozi, who was from the Taoist school, was at the back. The two of them walked side by side and talked happily. It was obvious that they had known each other for many years. After all, Confucius had studied under Laozi, and the two families had a lot of history. At this time, Han Fei was also very polite to Xunzi.
After that, the disciples of the Mo family guided these guests to their rooms to rest. There was no need to go into detail here. It was worth mentioning that Xun Zi had brought a person with him this time. This person was one of the three famous heroes of the early Han Dynasty, Zhang Liang and Zhang Zifang.
At this moment, Zifang was only eight years old and was still a very cute child. After everyone settled down, Zifang came to Yan Hong's room." Zihong, are you there?”
" Squeak---" The door was opened and Yan Hong walked out with a book in his hand. The Book of Songs was written on it.
"Zihong. I remember that Shixiong Fu Nian gave you this Book of Songs when Shishu went to the State of Qin that year, right? It's been many years.”
"That's right, Fu Nian, how are the two Senior Martial Brothers Yan Lu?”
"The two senior brothers are very good, but they often talk about you. Thinking back, I was very surprised that Martial Uncle would accept you as an in-name disciple.”
"Is that so? At that time, I was also extremely surprised. But now that I think about it, aren't we getting along very well now? Senior Martial Brother Zifang, haha.”
"That's right! Junior Brother Zihong, haha."
Just like that, Hong Yu accompanied Duanmu Rong, Zhang Fang and Yan Hong played the chess that Yan Hong had developed, while the head of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy discussed the current situation in the secret room.
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
In the secret chamber of the City of Traps, the representatives of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy gathered.
In the huge underground chamber, there were hundreds of luminous pearls embedded on the ceiling. There were torches on the stone wall, and in the middle was a huge table. All of them had been changed to look like the later generations under Yan Hong's suggestion. The Hundred Schools of Philosophy had gathered here for a legend that had been passed down for 300 years. Back then, the first generation Guigu 'zi had deduced the saying of the Fate-defying Azure Dragon. Back then, the first generation Guigu' zi had invited the Hundred Schools of Philosophy to discuss the matter of the Fate-defying Azure Dragon together. Now, the Azure Dragon Celestial Body had appeared. It was the time for the hundred people to gather again. However, this time, there was no Yinyang School and Gongshu Family. These two families had long submitted to the Qin Country. This time, there was a special guest, a side branch of the Wei Country's royal family, the current eldest son, Zhang Xuan. After the Wei Country attached itself to the Qin Country, a portion of the royal family went into the dark, developing their forces and cooperating with the Hundred Schools of Philosophy to become one of the forces resisting the Qin Country.
"You are a guest. Young Master Wei has just arrived today.”the giant said humbly.
"Dear friends of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy, Zhang Xuan greets you. There is no such thing as Young Master Wei in this world. The only one alive is Zhang Xuan.”
"Alright, then Young Master Zhang, please go first.”Everyone said in unison.
"Then I will throw out a brick to attract jade. It has been 300 years since the philosophers of the Hundred Schools of Thought deduced the fate defying black dragon. Not long ago, the black dragon phenomenon appeared. I wonder what the seniors here think of this matter.”
"The farmer family has never been involved in the calculation of astronomical phenomena. By then, the School of Political Conscience, the School of Taoism, the School of Eight Trigrams, and the School of Yinyang will be famous in the world. Today, our friends from the School of Political Conscience and the School of Taoism are here.”
"That's right, Mr. Xiao A Yaozi, Senior Gui Gu, the Yin-Yang School has already entered the Qin Empire. I wonder how the two of you have deduced the Old Dragon?”Gongsun Qian asked.
"Everyone, now that the killing is about to begin, the secrets of the heavens are obscure. Even if Fellow Daoist Gui Gu and I work together to deduce it, we won't be able to pry into the secrets of the heavens. However, now that the tiger and wolf army of the Qin country is eyeing the six countries covetously, I wonder what you think of this.”
"A hundred years ago, the Legalist Shang Yang entered the Qin Empire to carry out a reform. The State of Qin's strength had greatly increased, and Young Master Han, who was also a Legalist, should have the best understanding of this.”The novelist, Wandering Know-it-all, said mockingly.
" Although Han Fei is a Legalist, he is the grandson of Han King. However, Senior Brother Li Si has already entered Qin. Han Fei thinks that he can only resist Qin by reactivating Su Qin's method of cooperation.”Although Han Fei was talented, he had a serious stutter and it was very difficult for him to express himself.
"Back then, Su Qin joined forces, but Zhang Yi was able to break them apart. What if the State of Qin uses the Lianheng method to break the alliance of the six countries again? "Fan Zeng asked.
"Now that the world's situation has been set, the trend of unification is irreversible. However, in the Battle of Changping, Qin killed 400,000 Zhao troops.”Xun Zi said lightly.
"Everyone, do you think that the person with the Life Providence of the Old Dragon is Ying Zheng, and the Yin-Yang School has calculated this point and attached themselves to the State of Qin?”Farmer Chen Qi suddenly said.
"For the past hundred years, the Yin-Yang School has closed their doors and rarely interacted with the Hundred Schools. I don't know why, but if Ying Zheng is really the chosen one, then it's only reasonable for the Yin-Yang School to enter the Qin Dynasty.”When Yan Dan heard that someone was asking, he shifted his gaze.
Just like that, the Hundred Schools of Philosophy discussed the future situation for another four hours before they gradually dispersed. They were waiting for the Mo Family's succession ceremony seven days later.
When he left the secret chamber, Han Fei suddenly found that his sister Han Youer, who came with him, had gone somewhere. Seeing his confusion, Xun Zi walked up to him and said with a smile," Zi Fei, Little Youer went to Zihong's place a long time ago. You can rest assured now."”
"Eh? Thank you for your guidance, teacher."
"Ha-ha-ha"
"Haha!"
The old man and the young man looked at each other and laughed in unison. The reason behind this was not something that outsiders could tell.
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————--
Mo Family. City of Traps, Yan Hong's room.
" Dong-dong-dong-" Just as Zi Fang and Yan Hong were in the midst of a fierce battle, the sound of knocking on the door rang out again.
The two of them looked at the sky. It was almost dusk. Zifang opened the door and saw a little girl in a pink pleated dress standing by the door. When the little girl saw that it was Zifang who opened the door, she called out timidly,"Hello, Brother Zifang."”
"Zifang greets Your Highness Red Lotus." It turned out that this little girl was Han Fei's sister, the little princess of Han, Red Lotus. As a citizen of Han, of course, she had to bow.
"Brother Zihong, are you there?" Hong Lian smiled at Zi Fang before shouting into the room.
"Hong Lian, when did you arrive? Why didn't you come to find me?”When Yan Hong saw Hong Lian, he also had a look of joy. It could be seen that they were already old acquaintances.
"Your Highness Red Lotus, Junior Brother Zihong, I'll take my leave first.”At this moment, Zifang was very tactful. She winked at Yan Hong teasingly and left in a puff of smoke. This made Yan Hong sigh that he was not careful in making friends and left this problematic girl to him alone.
Once Zi Fang left, Red Lotus hung onto Yan Hong's body. Thus, Yan Hong's suffering began. For the next seven days, Yan Hong seemed to have become Red Lotus 'exclusive possession, be it Zi Fang, Duanmu, or Hong Yu. Everyone stood aside. The elders were happy to see the children get along and did not interfere. Thus, the group of childhood friends spent seven happy days playing chess, flying kites, riding hot air balloons, and so on. Of course, hot air balloons were also one of the secret techniques developed by the Mohist school under Yan Hong's design. The Hundred Schools of Philosophy only knew its shape but not its method.
Many years later, everyone stood on different standpoints, different views, different ideals, and even opposites. However, every time they talked about this beautiful childhood, they would miss it endlessly. It was also this purest friendship that changed the fate of many people.

Suddenly the butterflies are full of spring breeze, how can I teach the cold mirror thin red face.
Pupils congealed autumn water sword meteor, cut poetry for bone jade for God.
My spirit is high and I don't know sorrow. I'm willing to go to the twelfth floor of Yujing.
He waved his sword to break the clouds to welcome the falling stars, raised his wine and sang loudly to attract the phoenix to swim.
